<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 969310, member: 9167&quot;]I believe I always give me reasons. It&#039;s not merely resistance to the new, as I&#039;ve never liked the designs for the most part over the last 100 years or so. My biggest reason is simple...there is no creative aspect to paper today, or coins for that matter. It looks like a child sat down with the free version of Printshop and had a go at it. Security, then like now, is obviously of utmost concern, I agree. But thats no excuse to diminish the aesthetics of the notes. The simple fact is it&#039;s cheaper to pay a non artist to computer generate a design than to have a trained sculptor engrave a plate, thus we are left with, what is in my opinion, a flat, lifeless, cluttered design. It has little to do with cutting edge technology as it does with saving a buck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Getting right down to brass tacks here, how many here can look at the new $100 compared to a note of the 19th century and with all honesty say they like the new notes? That should say enough to anyone who appreciates art and history why we need to abandon the increasingly disheartening designs for the more traditional designs while still allowing for relevant security devises that don&#039;t detract from the overall appearance of the note.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
